​Greece | A vacation in Greece is always the best if the next beach is not too far away. Whether on one of the many islands or on the mainland these holiday houses are only 100 metres away from the sea.

Holiday houses & apartments on Crete

A holiday house on Crete costs on average USD 1,204 in the cheap travel period and USD 2,239 in the peak season per week. These details are of course in relation to the house and not per person as well as includes the obligatory additional charges.

Total Relaxation in a Holiday Home on Crete

Steeped in ancient mythology, the largest of the Greek islands sits proudly in the Mediterranean Sea at the juncture of three continents. Explore the island from your holiday home on Crete and find stunning beaches, towering mountains and lush valleys. Crete is well known for its local hospitality and fabulous gastronomy, so choosing a holiday rental here will not disappoint.

Exploring from your Holiday Rental

Crete boasts ornate churches, well-preserved monuments and fantastic attractions. The Archaeological Museum in Chania contains a collection of artifacts dating back to the Neolithic era, while the nearby Folklore Museum illustrates Cretan life in the 18th and 19th centuries. Shop for hand-made leather souvenirs at Heraklion Market, or head to one of Crete’s many beaches for some deep relaxation. The exotic Balos Beach boasts crystal-clear waters, while Falassarna offers long stretches of sand.

Eating on Crete

You may choose to book a self-catered apartment as your holiday home on Crete, but don’t forget to sample some of the island’s delicious cuisine. Locally produced cheeses, meats and olive oils steal the show, but these days you’ll find cuisines of all nationalities in the restaurants. It’s not all about food, either. Whether you choose to sit by your holiday house pool with a glass of wine or head to the beach for a shot of fiery raki, Crete offers the perfect refreshment on your vacation.

Day Tripping from Crete

If lounging around on vacation isn’t your thing, there are plenty of active options on Crete. Hike through the Samaria Gorge then rent a boat to Agia Roumeli, a remote coastal village cut off from the rest of the world. Take a boat trip to Spinalonga Island, or head to the important archaeological site of Knossos. Leave the comforts of your holiday house for a day or two and take a ferry to Rhodes, or indulge in a bit of island hopping to nearby Santorini and Mykonos.
